The Sparks have dropped four in a row at Staples Center but hope to find the road a bit friendlier. The Sparks (14-10) have won consecutive road games as they enter Wintrust Arena to meet Chicago (8-16) at 3 p.m.

Los Angeles fell to the Indiana Fever 78-76 after trailing by 12 points in the fourth quarter. Playing without Nneka Ogwumike (illness) and Alana Beard (strained groin), the Sparks battled the last-place Fever until the end despite missing two starters.

For the Sparks, road victories at Seattle and at Las Vegas were largely sparked by strong performances by Candace Parker — a native of the Chicagoland area. Parker’s output has largely determined the success of the Sparks this season, and in the teams’ last matchup in Chicago, Parker put up a double-double (16 points, 11 rebounds) to help the Sparks to an 81-72 victory.

The Sky, meanwhile, are coming off one of their best victories of the season, as they topped Dallas 114-99. Courtney Vandersloot tallied the seventh triple-double in WNBA history. Kahleah Cooper added 23 points in just 21 minutes, and Allie Quigley collected 21 points. The team shot 56.8 percent from the field.

According to the updated injury report, the Sparks will be missing Ogwumike and Beard once again, as both have been ruled out.
